VAGINAI. SYRINGE.

Specication of Letten Patent.

Patented April 24, 1906.

Application lad November 7,1905. Serial No. 286,201.

To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that I, MAa'rnv L. Boswonrn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bristol, in the county of Bristol and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vaginal Syringes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to vaginal syringes, and has for its objects the ends commonly sought in this class of devices, but more particularly to secure a continuous iiow of the cleansing liquid and insure against arepeated use of the latter.

My invention consists in supplying a plurality of independent compressible receptacles, one of which contains and injects the cleansing liquid and the other of which coaets with the first to exhaust or discharge the liquid after contamination.

l n the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this speciication, Figure l is a side eleva-tion of a syringe embodying my invention Fig. 2, a central vert-ical section of the same, and Fig. 3 a transverse section on line :c x of Fig.

Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the views.

My syringe in its approved form of embodiment comprises a compressible rubber supply or injection bulb or receptacle A, fixed to a knob b proj ectin downwardlyom a hard rubber neck-piece The latter is provided with circularly-disposcd apertures b' Yin its base b2 and has an exteriorly-inclined distending wall b3. Engaging an exterior retainingbead b upon the neck` ieee B is the up er margin of the outer wallc of a com ressi le rubber receptacle C, whose inner wa l c' is ce mented to or coincident with the wall of bulb A. A retainingdrnoh c', with an opening or tissage cs therethrough into rece taclc C, is oeated in the lower portion of wa I c and said opening provided with a valve c. 'lhe bulb A is also provided at its lower extremity with a retaining-knoh n., having an opening or passage rL therethrough into the receptacle A, and is provided with a valve o.

Au inlet-tube Dis ixed in. the hase b of tho neck-piece and connects, through a )lissage b* in the hitter, with the receptacle Upon the up wr end of the tube I) ls mounted. a perforutei nozzle E, provided with a vertical passage e in its apex to receive as a sliding t the stemf of a valve F, which is seated upon the end of the inlet-tube D. B the above construction an annular charme or opening G occurs intermediate nozzle E and dlstending Wall b3. Seated upon an internal shoulder b of the latter is a valve H, supported by a spring h, resting upon an annular shoulder d on the inlet-tube D.

To the knobs a and c2 may be attached flexible su ply and waste npcs, respectively, (shown in Ibroken lines in big. 2 as M and h The operation of my new syringe is as follows: The manual compression and release of the receptacles or sacks A and C charges the former with the cleansing Huid, which enters through the valve c. A second compression of the sacks forces the fluid through the passages b, elevating the valve F, and issues through the perforated nozzle E to cleanse the va inal cavity. The release of ressure upon t e rece tacle permits the va ve F to descend and c ose the passage through inlettube D. The simultaneous release of the receptacle C causes a suction which, together with the weight of the water in the vaginal cavity,lepresses the valve H against the tension'of spring h, permitting and drawing the used liquid through the channel G and a ertures b into the exhaust-receptacle C. he next manual compression of the sacks discharges the waste water from receptacle C through the valve c.

Having described my invention, what I claim is 1 In a vaginal syringe the combination with an injection-receptacle for the cleansing li uid, of snctional means coactinlg with the injection-receptacle for removing t e hquids, the egress and ingress passages beln concentric and thc egress-passage exten ed beyond and unobstructing the mgressassage.

2. In a vaginal syringe the :com ination with a compressible injection-receptacle, of a compressi )le exhaust-receptacle, a neckpiece with concentric egress and ingress passages and the egress-passage extended beyond and unobstructing the ingress-passage, and valvular means for controlling the llow of liquid into the exhaust-receptor: after its discharge from the injection-raientacle.

3. In a vaginal syringe, the combination with a comprcssihlc iujeotiowreccptocle of n. valve-oontrollml supply-inlet in the iuJeotloureceptacle, a comprensible exhaust-recept nele, und u. vulvc-mntrollml discharge-outlet in the exhaust-receptacle, a neck-piece with concentric egress and ingress passages end'the egresspassage extending beyond a-nd unobstructlng the in ess-passage.

4. n a vaginal syrin e the combination with a neck-piece, provi ed with concentric ingress and e rees apertures, the egress-passage extender beyond and unobstructing the ingress-passage' und n distending well of u compressible injection-receptacle attached to the neck-piece aninlet-tube in the neck-piece, a. nozzle on the inlet-tube, a second compressible receptacle on the neck-piece connecting with the apertures, and e valve controlling the flow through the inlet-tube.

5. A vaginal s inge comprising e neck- Eieee with channel' with apertures at the use and apertures at its outer end, a central tube, u )erforuted nozzle, a. valve therein closing t 1e outer end of said tube, e springactuated valve movable on seid tube to close the said a. erturesin theouter end of the neckpiece, an concentric compressible receptacles secured to said neckieee, the inner one communicatin with sei tube.

1n testimony w ereof I have ailixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
